Riku gets the feeling from the minute they first arrived at the event. First, he predicted how their album didn't completely sold out fully, so Momo uses his connections to sold the last hundreds of it.

Second, he don't know the first thing about doing a celebrity fansign. Iori has to helped him search for some ideas, but most of them are videos and cute moments of an idol's interaction with their fans. The only thing he found out is that each fan has a 1 minute interaction with them and that the idols have a 20-25 talk with the guest as a whole.

Third, they're going to need a lot of ink and patience.

"OK! ONE MORE TIME! Keep smiling, be sweet and~"

"...try our best not to flee?" Mitsuki guessed while scratching his head from memorizing the rules. Usually, he's good at rules. Nagi chuckles and hinted, "Close enough!" and patted the short eldest's back as an encouragement.

"Nii-san, it's 'avoid any marriage rings'..." Iori corrected. They use rhyming skills as a method to remember what they need to do. "Fans tend to use the album to hide a contract related to arrange marriages, so it's best that you be careful. Lots of male celebrities fell for it and nearly made the issue into court..." Yuki explains.

Riku nodded obediently in understanding and did his best to memorize the whole notes and observation that Anesagi-san dropped to them during the time TRIGGER's fanmeet was fully packed.

"Ne, Ai-san, does Kujo-san often encounter such moments?" The green hair soloist can only giggle at Riku's question before silently nodding. "It happen, lot of times~ You'll be surprised that one even brought a priest"

"Gee, how bad do girls want him?"

"Who says girls are the only ones who had it bad?" The pink manager scoff, making Tsumugi choke on her drink from how blunt her fellow manager says it. Re:vale and IDOLiSH7 had their face steaming as if the sun had melted the roof and gave them sunburns as they stare at the pastel hair center's photoshoot as a groom and bride.

"C-Can I have it?!" Tenn-nii wearing a dress is adorable!

"W-When did this happened?! I know for one thing that he wears a female kimono ONCE, but a WEDDING DRESS?!" Nikaido has to rub his eyes again, but only to stare and observe the photo longer before Anesagi swipe it back when Riku almost got a hold of it.

"It was a dare from a TRIGGER live show during their vacation. Tenn lost against Ryuu from a pool game and wore this during their next fansigning event. 'For his lovers' sake', he said... I made that fanmeet highly expensive and exclusive since that dress runs the president for gold bars and he has to wear it the entire occasion while doing fan services to make it worth it..."

"He seems to pay no mind and almost look like it's a normal thing, so we pushed him next in a nurse outfit..."

"I knew that! I caught him with Nanase-san in 4k!" Iori recalled before Riku fainted on an upcoming memory of that day.

Somewhere around the secret garden of Jondeokjeong Pavilion, Ryuu felt his ears twitch at the small sound the pink hair center just created, followed by a small sniff and quiet pardon for himself. He took a glimpse at Gaku and almost burst out laughing at the silver hair leader's dumbstruck expression while forgeting about the crumbs he's feeding the fish from the lake.

Everyone was waiting outside and the crowd were more than the crimson center can last count. Even a pregnant woman! Riku first thought that maybe they were standing outside to give them an official greeting, however, when they reach the auditorium, they were horrified to find the fansign event in such messy state. Not a single corner was left clean.
